Booch

Yeah I didn't understand that in the last game either. We waste our DI spots repeatedly. Even the 7 o-lineman ...sure it's a nice luxury, but really how often over a season does it need to be taken advantage of? I would bet Couture hasn't had to wash his uniform yet this year...no knock on him as he doesn't dictate how he gets used, but in a pinch and 2 lineman go down Thomas could step in..I bet Ekakite could too...and would love to see Poop give it a whirl in a pinch.. Use that 7th oline spot on say Drew W...Get him some reps...he can return too seeing as they park Coates' arse back there with Lankford. Or get Conteh on roster...a guy who can kill it on teams, and take reps on defence. It drives me nuts how we dress guys game in and game out with no intention of them ever hitting the field...I felt bad for the times Addison Richards would dress, and do absolutely nothing ...whats the point. I like Oshea as a coach and what he brings, but his roster management is weak

The fact that Walker, Fogg, Flanders can all return kicks, and we keep Lankford on who save for one return and one reception gives us diddly just irritates the hell out of me. We could use his spot for Poop Johnson preferably, or for Thorpe who over course of game gives us way more value on offence, and possibly the big play threat on returns. Same with 4 defensive ends...3 is sufficient and a rotation of Westerman and either Jeffcoat/ OPO with Corney and Nevis and Johnson taking majority of inside reps spelled off by Thomas gives us a way better line-up. These guys would all get enough reps and rest to be really into the game...we could use the Ekakitie spot on say a Conteh/banning or throw Drew W in there Also for what the value we get with the other import LB we DI , why not use that on a Thorpe, or a Poop, or still allow us to roster Lankford if they feel he is so vital? Yeah sure people can clammer about how he the top returner...but that is yardage wise and mainly because we have returned more kicks than anyone...so a somewhat skewwed stat. If anything I think roster management hinders us more than anything and how we allocate our ratio...

yeah I agree...Or even Ryan Phillips...he would have been a more than adequate stop gap until we unearth younger and better

Just look back to the games when all 3 were in and how effective that was...now mix in Dressler as well into that 4 headed monster...big play capabilities there and would be a nightmare covrage wise..especially when in Cheetah

yeah he did...but Thorpe still offers more on offence and potentially ST's than Lankford does...that's the issue. Imagine having Harris, Flanders and Thorpe in certain sets...If the defense is trying to key on one of Flanders or Harris then most likely Thorpe is going to be isolated on one guy and we all know what he can do with yac and making guys miss, or just breaking a tackle...now imagine him one on one and breaking free in an open filed and not contending with the extra guy or two who are pre-occupied with Harris/Flander... instead of Lankford out there who cant play a part in that scheme and is usually just taking a corner out of the fraccass down a sideline

Brian Walker came here after camp...or right at the end of camp. Pretty sure it was this Walker JR that they were impressed with and was kind of a shock he was let go

That's kind of what I was thinking too...He could DI and fill two roles, and allow for Thorpe and Flanders to be in line-up...which makes us substantially stronger

ah yes....Walker got hurt I think...weren't they really high on his cover skills at camp?...tho they said same with Roc but look how that developed lol

was he the dude who got booted from the the first pre-season game as well...then subsequently cut?

wonder why bringing Walker back?...Tho I think he is a return guy too tho no?.

Roc Carmichael on suspended list....is this making room for some new blood?

yeah not winning since 1990 kinda sucks, but organizational wise I'd rather have 10 cups than 4. and the most grey cup appearances

12-6

OH...HAHAHA..Thought thats what you were doing....but then thought that maybe thee was a different Knox kicking around....

????....not sure whats u mean..

jeff knox jr

good chance he probably only was looking to go back to Edm anyway unless someone dumped stupid money in front of him

nothing wrong with that sportsmanship on the fake punt/kick. A well coached team and a prepared one should have a guy counting up players on the kick team and calling what type of coverage or block they are going to run. Every team I have been on has a designated guy for that, as well as a spotter in the box. BC failed to do that and got burned....well coached and very sportsman like I bet you that you won't see that happen again this year, because teams will be prepared now. Using or taking advantage of a seldom used, or even not known of rule is great coaching if you ask me. Taking advantage of a gray area thing, which technically isn't a rule is just low..dirty and reeks of desperation and a lack of confidence in being able to deal with something

cramps tho aren't an injury...it's just lack of hydration and in my opinion poor conditioning

EASIER said than done to stay out hahaha

during a game I have blown out a knee...twice...broke a hand...twice...lost a molar...a stinger and bruised ribs....each time I knew immediately and was down during the play...or at the whistle....not after whistled in

it's not a point of disputing this...it's the determination that Hurl isn't capable of filling this role

It's not like Neufeld is some grey beard..he is only 28..technically hitting his prime as an olineman and should have at least 6 serviceable years in him

it's a simple fix, if it happens once play is whistled in you get a first time gimme...any subsequent time you get either a delay of game/unsportsmanlike penalty and a loss of your timeouts if you have any...that would nip things in the bud. I've played the game and you know immediately after a play if you are hurt, or something isn't right. It doesn't take the time it takes for teams to set up..chains to get moved or the time to have a ref whistle play in to figure that out...even with a team going no huddle. It's funny that these injuries never seem to happen when not in tempo...isn't it?...

That's why a Mulumba would fill that role nicely. That system can work effectively if you have the horse to pull that carriage, but Hurl isn't that horse
